Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between safety culture and safety behavior of coal mine workers by considering the mediating role of psychological capital. The method used was a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design using a questionnaire distributed to 412 respondents of coal mine employees of PT. Cipta Kridatama of Tapin Regency in South Kalimantan Province. The data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with WarpPLS software version 8.0. The results of the study show that safety culture and psychological capital have a significant positive relationship with safety behavior. Safety culture also has a significant positive relationship with psychological capital. The study also found that psychological capital is able to mediate the relationship between safety culture and safety behavior. The R-Square for psychological capital and safety behavior variables were 64.9% and 25.8%, respectively, indicating that the model had a fairly good predictive ability
